Kimmarie Johnson, '90210' and 'Dude, Where's My Car?' Actress, Dead at 50
Model and actress Kimmarie Johnson has died following a heart condition at her Los Angeles home.
Kimmarie Johnson, the model and actress who showed up in '90s and 2000s TV and film, passed away Wednesday after a heart event struck her at home in L.A. last week. She was 50. Johnson had been hospitalized at Cedars-Sinai and was dealing with a serious heart aneurysm condition.
Johnson's credits included solid appearances on Beverly Hills, 90210 and the cult stoner comedy Dude, Where's My Car?, alongside other TV and film work that spanned decades. She also competed as a Miss USA contestant, making waves in the modeling world before moving into acting.
These unexpected losses hit hard, especially when someone's been grinding in the industry long enough to pop up in the shows and movies people actually grew up on. A reminder that health can flip in a second, no matter who you are or what you've built.
RIP to Kimmarie Johnson.
